In a holiday shortened week the Composite Index of the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange closed the week higher, at the same time that the All Trinidad index slipped just over 1 point, with prices of 7 stocks falling and six rising.

Trading left the PE ratios of the majority of stocks to be attractively prices with big upside gains ahead.
The average PE ratio of the market is 9.8 versus 10.7 last week compared to 5.3 based on the current year’s earnings. The huge difference between the two shows the undervalued level of the market currently is and the extent of the upside that lies ahead.
The only winning stocks of note for the week are Scotiabank up $2.15 to $58.50, Unilever Caribbean with a gain of 75 cents and Guardian Holdings with a gain of 26 cents. Calypso Investment Fund lost 40 cents to close at $23.60 and LJ Williams lost 22 cents in closing at $1.27.
Stocks that could gain more than 100 percent when the market comes back to life, include, First Caribbean with a possible gain of 250 percent, but the high level of potential supply may stifle this stock from achieving its full potential, Guardian Holdings at 500 percent, Republic Holdings at 110 percent, Massy Holdings at 120 percent, Trinidad Cement with 270 percent, Eric Solis 400 percent and One Caribbean Media with 300 percent.
